welcome. youve got the right idea with meeting some experienced jeepers before you go out and get stuck in a foot of mud. thats just depressing

No, no, no...trust me, you want to go out with the more experienced guys and learn from them.  No worries about making a fool out of yourself...everyone starts as a beginner.  :)

Glad to see another YJ on the board and anytime you want to go out, their are lots of people willing to show you the ropes.  Just make sure you have the proper recovery points and CB radio.

Come May or June, I will most likely lead a newbie run

Very true...This is a excellent advise. You can get hurt out there.

Come to a meeting (21st ...) tag along on a beginner run...  :D

Hey Guys, is it expensive to stay down your way in Calgary?  If I come for a few days I would need to crash and stuff, but definately want to come down there and wheel with eveyone.
